A hidden element of an in-game camera is how we prevent collision without the player noticing! Here is a brief look into a few of the ways I prevent this in my game.
comment if you have any specific questions about this!

Got a first version of waterfalls working! Really fun to see the water react and new little ponds and waterfalls form as you edit the terrain.
Next I’ll look at some better shading, VFX and solving lots and lots and lots of edge cases.

Making a simple but comprehensive character controller for Unity which can be a hurdle for a lot of people starting out. Handles slopes, stairs, platforms that move, rotate, and stretch. I'll put it in a public repo when its all finished. #GameDev #IndieDev #ScreenShotSaturday

Just swapping out the model at a specific frame works surprisingly well for a transform animation 😁

I was heartbroken and blindsided when I learned that my job was no more on the morning of February 19th. This is not the ending to the journey I had dreamt of and committed myself to seeing through — not by a long shot. But despite the confusion and sadness, I know there’s something new on the horizon for me.
This isn’t the end, and I’m excited to discover a new path — but I need your help! If you need a passionate, dedicated and loyal Game Developer or know someone who does, hit me up!
Thank you.
Here’s a glimpse of what I bring to the table.

Playing with something called Laplacian blending.
it is a really nice way of blending two textures where high and low frequencies in the image are blended at different MIP levels so that things blend into one another in a really pleasing way. (edited)
As you can see there is none of the ghosting that an ordinary soft masks gives you.
It does a really nice job of blending heightfields.
No loss of high frequency data and yet there is no discontinuity in height.

This is definitely my magnum opus—the best and most complex thing I’ve ever made. A physics-based, Skate 3-like skateboard controller that works without any invisible walls to keep you within the pool bounds. Here some totally uncut footage of it
